Rugby's Signal Gantry prior to the construction of the Great Central bridge carrying the new railway over the LNWR mainline

Rugby's Signal Gantry prior to the construction of the Great Central bridge carrying the new railway over the LNWR mainline to London circa 1895. The signal gantry was built with two sets of signals, the top set repeating the commands given to the lower set. This was because from a drivers point of view the lower set of signals were difficult to see against the background of the GC bridge. However the set at the top could be difficult to see at night, especially in bad and foggy weather and therefore both sets of signals required.
